Wouldn't it be something if the American family were finally to be done in NOT by drugs, fluoridated water, welfare dependency, Hillary Clinton or gangsta rap, but by the continued reluctance of regular guys -- upstanding middle-class Republicans, many of them -- to do their fair share of the housework? Linda Waite thinks it's already happening. And she isn't just making it up to scare her husband into emptying the dishwasher; she has proof. Waite, a professor of sociology at the University of Chicago, and Frances Goldscheider, a sociology professor at Brown University, have been analyzing data from the vast National Longitudinal Surveys of Labor Market Experience, begun by the U.S. Department of Labor in the late 1960s. The surveys followed 5,000 young men and women and 5,000 older ones for a 15-year period to find out how we live now.
